Leaving Users

Users who are graduating or are leaving Cal Poly for any other reason
are encouraged to clean out their Central UNIX and OpenMail accounts and
download any files they wish to keep. Accounts of users who do not
appear on current enrollment records are marked for deletion.  Accounts
marked for  deletion will be notified and given two weeks to download
files.

Once your degree posts on the Academic Records Office database, you are
no longer considered a Cal Poly student and are ineligible for email,
modem, or UNIX server services or accounts through the University’s
Central Systems.

Make sure to download your files before you leave at the end of the
quarter.  Information Technology Services is not required to maintain
accounts for students who are not enrolled.

E-mail forwarding cannot be provided.

The Cal Poly Alumni Association offers an email routing service.  They
do not offer an email account, but provide email forwarding to another
email service you have outside of Cal Poly.  They allow you to select a
personalized alias (ex. jsmith-1999@alumni.calpoly.edu) which will route
email sent to that address to your  off-campus email account (ex.
Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, etc.)  There is no cost for this service and no
limit as to how long you can use it.  To find more information on this
service, please refer to the Alumni Association web site:
http://alumni.calpoly.edu/ and select Electronic Services.

If you are subscribed to the Pay Modem Services (Imagine Network),
please make sure to de-enroll from this service BEFORE your account is
removed.  To de-enroll, go to:

        http://imagine.calpoly.edu/

For students who are still completing course work, senior project or
thesis, you must have your project advisor provide a hard copy memo
stating all the vital information (e.g., account, name, student ID
number, etc.) and Central UNIX and OpenMail account information and an
expected completion date for this project.  This memo should be directed
to the Help Desk, building 14 room 114.

If you are leaving and wish to have your account removed immediately,
please send us a mail message to "helpdesk@calpoly.edu" and indicate:
(1) your student ID number and (2) your complete name as it appears on
your ID card.  You may also be asked to verify the deletion by e-mail.

Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
